Happy Set
One Piece Card Game Happy Meals hadn’t even been formally announced yet, were supposed to debut in less than 10 days.
With new Pokémon toys on the way, McDonald’s is trying to get ahead of the problems being caused by speculative scalpers.
Refusal of sales and mobile app account bans to be implemented, following latest case of speculators spoiling fun for fans and upsetting regular customers.
You don’t need to specifically choose Pikachu, because it’s a promise that he’ll be in your Happy Meal.
New Happy Meals give us a taste of what it would be like to share your home with a bunch of extra-cute Pokémon.
They don’t come with a toy, but Pokémon Trainers will receive something they’ll probably like even more.
Cures Wonderful, Nyammy, and more characters from the hit series are headed to McDonald’s Japan in two batches of toys.
